Introspection

Some of us can barely even look at ourself in a mirror, let alone look at our inner thought processes.  Guilt and shame are the biggest factors that hold people back from a clean bill of mental health.  Knowing what you did, said, didn't do, or didn't say it when the time was right, can play a never ending tape of failure in your brain.  We envision grandiose story-lines of revenge, correction, or even just peaceful outcomes, none of which are true.  This is an anchor that prevents us from moving forward because at the end of that ever playing tape is the reality of our failure.  The way things are!

Acknowledging your mistakes and correcting them where you can is the only way out of that devilish cycle. Keeping in mind that some people don't want you to, or will use those weaknesses as a vehicle for their own advancement.  Don't worry about those kind of people but live in God's promise in

Hebrews 12:5 My dear child, don’t shrug off God’s discipline, but don’t be crushed by it either.
It’s the child he loves that he disciplines; the child he embraces, he also corrects". MSG
